The aim of this study was to formulate probiotics-loaded pellets in a tablet form to improve storage stability, acid tolerability, and in vivo intestinal protective effect. Bacteria-loaded pellets primarily prepared with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate were compressed into tablets with highly compressible excipients and optimized for flow properties, hardness, and disintegration...

: Cosmetic formulators have numerous thickeners at their disposal to stabilize and increase the viscosity of formulations. Traditionally, some ingredients are most widely used for these purposes, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, other cellulose derivatives, well carbomer acrylic acid derivatives ...

Three tannin extracts from different sources (white peel grape (W), red (R) and oak bark (O)) have been used to obtain active films based on polysaccharides: chitosan (CH), methylcellulose (MC) hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC). Tannin-rich were obtained by casting as monolayers (by blending all the components) bilayers (one polysaccharide layer plus one applied a coating). Microstructural ph...
